You Can Make Art Out Of THAT??

What would you like to try? This is a low-stakes workshop for anyone fun-loving and curious. All levels of artistic ability, from never-tried-it to professional, are welcome. Just bring something you think you can make art from. Or bring something you think you can’t make art from, and maybe someone will prove you wrong. We’ll spend time with each participant’s materials and discuss a moment, if any, when it transforms from *just stuff* to art. Depending on workshop size and materials gathered, we may create collaboratively and/or simultaneously. Feel free to bring food and drink (for either creating or consuming!)

Did you know, making art, whether *good* or not, is great for the brain, body, mind and well-being? Well… we’ll try it out, and probably feel better for doing so.
